Valentine's Day Gift Ideas For Him

Buying gifts
was always a challenge for everyone. You have this blank white space in your
mind when it comes to choosing the perfect gift for you special someone. Guess
what? It is February and what do we have in February? Yes, Valentine's Day!

Valentine's
Day is just around the corner but you still haven't got any ideas to give a
gift for your man? Well, let me give you some ideas on what to get for your
boyfriend ( or husband! ).

1. Minimal Watches

When it
comes to staple piece or accessory, minimal watches play a huge role as it is
an investment for a man. The price might be a splurge but the longevity of the
quality is the highlights that we should gravitate towards.

This minimal
Gold rim watch with a dark brown strap fromNixon is
a good piece for you to invest for your man. Not only it can match with formal
outfit, it can also worn in both formal and casual outfits. Believe me, that
watch will be a conversation starter for your man with his colleague.

2.
Sunglasses

If your man
travels a lot for work, why not buy him a pair of sunglasses? Who says only
women invest in sunglasses? Men do too! Often men wears an aviator or the
square-shaped sunglasses but once in a while, they can spice up the entire look
by wearing a round sunglasses.

As for
sunglasses, I picked theDior
Black Tie 143S since it has a very unique design to it. Quite an
urban "steampunk" look. But then again, this sunglasses are suitable
for formal attire too. It gives that hint of urban in the classic formal outfit,
just a something a lil' different from your day-to-day sunglasses.

3. Men
Pouch a.k.a Man Purse

Whenever you
go for a date with your man, does he brings a lot of stuffs ? Then, this Man
Pouch is a good gift for him. What? He'll look like a woman? Get your
stereotypes off and think about the benefits instead. Bringing a pouch saves a
lot of space in his pocket. He'll put his phone, wallet, car keys and some
other relatable things inside, thus, why not?

I chose the Louis Vuitton Man Pouch because it has
the authentic ‘LV’ Damier design on it while making your man looking more
masculine. Not only that, the checkered black and dark grey is a good colour
for all outfit for all occasions.

4. Neck
Tie

I believe
that all men wear neck ties to work. To me, Neck Tie is an essential in men’s
wardrobe. If your man hasn’t change his tie for quite a period of time, buy him
a new one. Believe me, in a workplace, one of the conversation starter is “ where did you bought that tie? Looks good
on you”. Buy him a good pair of ties so that he can change in between time.

I randomly
selected Versace Neck Tie because out
of all the luxury brand’s neck tie, Versace’s design gives an extra spice to
the outfit. The classic Versace’s aesthetic; Black and Gold along with the
Medusa head design on it. Match this tie with an all-black outfit to work and
your man is set to go.

5. Trench
Coat

One of the
staple outerwear piece is a trench coat that has been a trend since forever. If
you’re living in Asia, you’ll probably wondering why does your man need a
trench coat while the weather is Summer all year long, right ? Let me tell you
why.

Trench coat doesn’t necessarily needs to be
thick so that it could keep you warm. There are different kinds of fabrics used
to produce a trench coat. The effect of wearing a trench coat is that your man
will look more professional. This is suitable when attending an interview or
meeting a client.

If you want
to invest in a trench coat for your man, I’d suggest to buy a lighter and
earthy tones of colours such as Camel Brown. A darker shade can do too! Before
you make your purchase, make sure to check the quality of the fabrics.

6. Minimal
Wallet

A wallet is
a man’s best friend. Most of the men nowadays takes time to choose the right
wallet that suits his needs. Some prefer the long wallet while some prefer the
bifold/trifold wallet. Men tends to be precise in choosing their wallet because
the wallet will become their identity that’ll last for years.

I personally
love Louis Vuitton wallets (because I
have one) but after doing a lot of research, I conclude that I’ll choose
the Saint Laurent wallet due to its
simplicity and minimal design. I’m a person who uses bifold wallet rather than
a long wallet or the trifold thus making the Saint Laurent wallet a good choice.
On the side note, it’s made of leather that’ll last for years.

7. Fragrance

Perfume is a
man’s basic needs before going out to work. I remembered that my dad sprayed
his Bvlgari Pour Homme every single day before going to work. After a few
years, that perfume become his identity. Wherever I go, that Bvlgari Pour Homme
will reminds me of my dad. That’s what perfumes do to your man. It gives your
man an identity.

My
recommendations are Versace Eros and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. Both of
these perfumes has its own unique identity. If you want your man to smell more
sexy and masculine with a little bit of sweet scent, then buy him the Versace
Eros.

Personally,
I have been using Versace Eros for a month and whenever I go to class, some of
my friends complimented me due to its very own unique scent.

As for
V&R Spicebomb, I have been wanting this one because it is very different
than others. It has this mixture of spices and patchouli scent with mint and
sweet scent (I’m very bad at describing
perfume scents).

8. Dress
Shoes

If you are
looking for a good pair of dress shoes, then I’ll recommend you to buy the Prada Levitate shoes. It’s a hybrid of
both dress shoe and a sneakers. It’ll look good on both formal and casual
attire. I believe that every men needs a dress shoe, so, why not?
